Manchester Arena inquiry: Terror offender ordered to give evidence

(BBC) A convicted terrorist has been told he must give evidence at the public inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing.

Abdalraouf Abdallah is said to have groomed Salman Abedi, who killed 22 people in the explosion in May 2017.

The 28-year-old, who denies any involvement in the bombing, was jailed for terror offences in May 2016.

Abdallah, from Manchester, is a serving prisoner at HMP Wakefield who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after he became a paraplegic when he was fighting in Libya in 2011.
